Methods to either mimic or elicit IPC have been attempted in clinical practice, in the area of coronary heart disease in an attempt to limit the injury caused to the heart via ischemia and reperfusion injury. (wikipedia.org)

This review summarizes the state-of-the-art of the complex kinase mTORC1 focusing in upstream and downstream pathways, their role in central nervous system and their relationship with autophagy, apoptosis and neuroprotection/neurodegeneration after ischemia/hypoxia. (frontiersin.org)

Treatments for brain ischemia include alteplase to minimize the effects of ischemic strokes and anticonvulsants for the prevention of seizures, states the Columbia University Medical Center. (reference.com)

Chronic microvascular ischemic change is a term that describes areas in the brain where tiny blood vessels have ruptured or clotted off, causing limited bl. (reference.com)

The information presented here studies the mechanisms that underlie persistent translation arrest (TA) following global brain ischemia and reperfusion (I/R). To summarize the main findings I have discovered a new mechanism for prolonged post-ischemic TA that correlated exactly with in vivo translation rates and correlated precisely with cell outcome.

TLR3 displays a protective role in mouse models of atherosclerosis, and activation of TLR3 signaling is associated with ischemic preconditioning-induced protection against brain ischemia and attenuation of reactive astrogliosis. (wikipedia.org)

An interruption of blood flow to the brain for more than 10 seconds causes unconsciousness, and an interruption in flow for more than a few minutes generally results in irreversible brain damage. (wikipedia.org)

We found that BDNF gene was down regulated in EE-housed rats when compared to the rats housed in standard cages at 2~12 days after cortical brain ischemia in peri-infarct cortex, contralateral cortex and bilateral hippocampus. (lu.se)

The mRNA expression of NGFI-A showed a similar pattern of BDNF except for an increase at 30 d after induction of brain ischemia in EE-housed rats. (lu.se)

Ischemia-induced reduction of GR was prevented in the rats housed in EE condition. (lu.se)

The results were tested in a whole animal (male Long Evans rats) model of global brain I/R using in situ antibodies and mRNA staining methods, in viv0 protein synthesis and Western blots. (wayne.edu)

Ferrer Therapeutics has made available CerAxon Oral Solution, a medical food containing citicoline, for the dietary management of brain ischemia due to stroke or traumatic brain injury in patients who have difficulty swallowing. (empr.com)

Within a few seconds of stroke onset, the brain responds by entering a state of metabolic depression, in which energy consumption is reduced to compensate for the reduction in energy production. (wikipedia.org)

During brain ischemia, glutamate is released in excess from the presynaptic terminal, leading to the uncontrollable opening of the glutamate receptors, including the NMDA and AMPA receptors, which allows for an excessive influx of Ca2+ into the intracellular environment. (wikipedia.org)

Using in vivo and neuronal OGD models, it was recently established that mTORC1 (mammalian Target of Rapamycin Complex-1), a protein complex downstream of PI3K-Akt pathway, is one of the players deregulated after ischemia and OGD. (frontiersin.org)

Ischaemia, which results from reduced blood profusion of tisssues, decreasing nutrient and oxygen supply, induces REST transcription and nuclear accumulation, leading to the epigenetic repression of neuronal genes leading to cell death. (wikipedia.org)

In the 2-hour middle cerebral artery occlusion model with 3-hour recirculation, we have identified 28 known ischemia-hypoxia response genes that are upregulated and 6 that are downregulated, together with 35 upregulated and 41 downregulated genes newly connected with ischemia. (pptaglobal.org)

The mechanism beyond REST induction in ischaemia, might be tightly linked to its oxygen-dependent nuclear translocation and repression of target genes in hypoxia (low oxygen) where REST fulfils the functions of a master regulator of gene repression in hypoxia. (wikipedia.org)

Ischemia within the arteries branching from the internal carotid artery may result in symptoms such as blindness in one eye, weakness in one arm or leg, or weakness in one entire side of the body. (wikipedia.org)

Below, I will review our current understanding of I/R brain injury and how diabetes worsens outcome. (wayne.edu)

Such an injury is fatal to humans and usually fatal to most animals, since it deprives all other organs of the involuntary functions that are needed for the body to function, while the brain is deprived of oxygenated blood. (wikipedia.org)

It is usually seen in the terminal stages of acute head injury and may indicate imminent brain herniation. (wikipedia.org)

Different patterns indicate a different location of the brain where the injury occurred. (wikipedia.org)

Normally, the Na+/K+-ATPase pump maintains the transmembrane gradients of K+ and Na+ ions, but with anoxic brain injury, the supply of energy to drive this pump is lost. (wikipedia.org)

I will discuss clinical outcomes, the major mechanisms, and especially focus on TA following brain I/R. The most current ideas on TA link it to intracellular stress responses and the formation of subcellular particles involved in mRNA metabolism such as stress granules and mRNA granules. (wayne.edu)

Another highly protective agent is human albumin, administered in doses of 1.25 to 2.5 g/kg-a therapy that reduces infarct volume in this ischemia model by 60% to 65%, markedly diminishes brain swelling, and has a therapeutic window extending to 4 hours. (pptaglobal.org)

At present, there are no clinically effective pharmacologic interventions to halt brain damage following I/R. The major Aim of this dissertation will be to investigate possible mechanisms involved in neuron death following brain I/R, which may potentially lead to the development of effective therapies.
